Didn't you write recently that you knew of no DHCPv6 implementations
when you wrote your book?

When I was writing my book ( http://www.runningipv6.net/ ) in 2005
I did some testing between the Cisco IOS and KAME implementations,
KAME only as a server and IOS both as a client and a server. Worked
well despite the experimental status of the KAME daemon at that time.
The cool thing is that you can sort of store the delegated prefix
on a Cisco router and then use it elsewhere (not everywhere,
though) in the configuration, for instance, to generate RAs. So one
change to the DHCP server can let a router and all the hosts
connected to it renumber. This is certainly something I'd like to
see in consumer grade CPEs.
I've heard a lot about an ISC DHCPv6 implementation but no idea
what the status is there, and if they support or plan to support
prefix delegation.
